Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach with EES CD

Summary: A great book if you want to be confused
Review: The book has much information, but it is not in a very logical format. When you need an equation to use a look up chart, don't expect to find one. The charts in the book are useful, but you really have to know what is going on ahead of time, not a good book to learn from. Using this book as a reference book when taking a test is not a good idea. I wish these people would have put at least the odd answers in the back of the book. With out the answers, especially when your teacher doesn't go over hw with you, you have no clue how to do the problems.

Summary: This is a Great Book
Review: This Book is much Better than any of the Other books out there as far as a GOOD Engineering reference for Heat Transfer. This Book is highly logical and very practical. The Author does not bog you down into the differential equations and boundary conditions, which is un necessary for 99% of all Heat Transfer work. Anwers to problems are not as needed when they have Detailed Examples with Step by step solutions for several problems each chapter. The person above will find a better appreciation for the book when he becomes a professional and doesn't have time to look at theory till you go blind. The book does do a Fair attempt at more then 1 dimensional Heat Transfer patterns and is an Excellent Resource for Theory and Application of all Types of Heat Transfer.
